Hello!

Last summer, I told myself I was going to share this on Substack. But I didn’t.
Maybe I got nervous.
Maybe I felt insecure.
Either way, I never hit publish.

But I’m sharing it now.

For the past few years, I’ve quietly offered one-on-one sessions I call Creative Consulting.

Recently, my inbox has been filling up with more questions than I can keep up with.

Questions like:

How do I become a full-time writer?
How do I grow my Substack and/or Instagram?
How did you get started?
I want to be a writer like you. How did you get to where you are?
Should I self-publish my poetry? How do I do that?
I want to be a writer. Can you give me some advice for getting started?

These are not small questions.
They’re personal and honest.
And I want to give thoughtful, helpful answers.

The truth is, I can’t respond the way I want to in a quick message.

But I do know how I want to respond.

With a phone or Zoom call.
A real conversation.
Time set aside to talk about your goals, your questions, and the next step forward.

That’s what I’m offering.

Here are the details …

You’re a creative with a vision—

…but you’re stuck.

Maybe it’s self-doubt or fear.
Maybe it’s frustration or comparison.
Maybe you just don’t know what the next step should be.

You’ve got questions like:

What should I share on Substack/Instagram?
What should I be doing that I am not?
How do I self-publish or land a book deal?
How do I get started as a creative professional?
What do you wish you would have known early on in your career?"
How do I share my message with more people?
What do I do when I feel burned out or stuck?
How can I make this dream a full-time job?
What should I do next?

You’re not alone.

I’ve been there.

When I started sharing my work online back in 2013, I had more questions than answers.

Over time—and with the help of others—I found clarity, momentum, and purpose.

Over the last 12 years I’ve released books, spoken on stages around the country, hosted events, launched podcasts, created merchandise, signed book deals, and created a following of over 100,000 followers.

I’ve also failed. I’ve lost followers. I’ve burned out. I’ve bombed at shows. I’ve chosen wrong. I’ve made countless mistakes.

I’ve learned.

Now, I want to share with you what I have learned and help you take the next step in your creative career.

Here’s the plan:

Become a paid annual subscriber to my Substack.
Already a paid annual subscriber and want to take advantage of this deal? Great! Send me a message!

Become A Paid Annual Subscriber

Email me a few questions or what you’re wanting to chat about. Let me know that you’ve become a pain annual subscriber. Writtentospeak@gmail.com
We’ll schedule a 1:1 creative consulting call (video or phone—your choice).
Walk away with clarity, encouragement, and a custom plan for your next step.

1:1 Creative Consulting Call

You come with your questions and I’ll come with 12+ years of writing and speaking advice.

The call will last right around an hour.

If we need to schedule a follow up call, we can do that.

But I have found that in an hour we can take bigger strides together than you can in a few months on your own.

Who is this for?

If you're a:

Writer, artist, or creative professional
Person who wants to share their voice but feels unsure how
Writer, artist, or creative who is ready to step into the next season of their career
Dreamer who’s ready to finally start

This is for you.
